Hanging Fire is indeed a classic Western."-True WestMagazine "This teeth-grinding, bare-knuckling, swash-buckling adventure keeps readers turning pages. A terrific read. Allow plenty of time to read this. It's hard to put down." -Roundup Magazine on Hanging Fire "Exceptionally fast-paced and blood-spattered. Full of action, overflowing with defiant characters and deadly gunplay."-Lansing State Journal on Noose
